Description
Beetroot Bulls Blood is a heat tolerant summer variety which holds its magnificent red colour in high temperatures.
This dual purpose variety can be harvested at any stage of growth, use the leaves in salads or steamed like spinach, or the roots can be left to grow like any other beetroot.
The leaves are broader than other beetroot varieties and they can be harvested for baby leaf salads in as little as 35 days.
Left to mature they have a particularly sweet taste when cooked, while the medium-sized spherical roots are tender and have a great flavour especially when young.
Very easy to grow, for very little effort, you can be rewarded with a delightful and delicious addition to any meal. Home grown beets, leaf or root are like nothing you will find in the supermarket produce aisle.
Bull’s Blood also makes a striking ornamental plant, it is fully deserving of a place in borders and in beds and makes a dramatic foil to pale coloured flowers.
It can be scattered among perennials, grasses and other contrasting foliage and can be sown as a annual with other plantings.
Bull’s Blood are also sold under the name ‘Ornamental Beets’, they make a very nice dot plant, and if you get fed up with them, you can always eat them.
